Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of low-dose of ionizing radiation on thyroid function of medical occupational group with long-term exposure, furthermore, to analyze the relationship between the thyroid hormones and the risk factors, such as exposure length, department and comulative radiation dose. Ultimately, providing the scientific basis for setting the ionizing radiation protection standards.
Methods:The population who engaged radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy in a tertiary-A hospital was set up as occupational exposure, and the administrative staffs in a company were considered as control. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 161 medical professionals and 159 administrative staffs as the research object.We figured out the basic information and general condition of the groups by face-to-face questionnaire survey, calculated the annual comulative radiation dose through local center for disease control and prevention, By means of the thyroid hormone testing, we analyzed the thyroid hormone levels with different population, occupational exposure factors. Applying Epidata、Excel in data management. All the data was analyzed by statistical software package Stata12.0. Descriptive statistics, single factor analysis of variance and other statistical methods were used for data analysis. Test standard: α=0.05、P<0.05 statistical significant.
Results:Age, sex and seniority were proportionality between exposure and control groups. The dosages of occupational population exposure to ionizing radiation were about 1/10 of national permit value, belonging to low-dose exposure. The T3, FT3 level of the exposure group was decreased than the control group (P<0.001). especially the FT3 level has statitical discrepancy among groups with different exposure length (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiatiom can induce the thyroid damage of medical occupational population, which should be broader concerned.
